helicopter crash, but the ministry of defense says it is not a military helicopter. the police commissioner said it was diverted to a nearby heliport when it crashed. we'll have details when we get them here in the newsroom. >> a little girl is safe after a man tried to snatch her from the arms of her mother. marla spoke to police. she's in san jose with what is being done to find the man who attempted to do this. good morning. >> good morning. one of the things i learned from my conversation with the spokesperson with san jose police is that the mother is so rattled by this incident, as we can all imagine. police are actually giving her more time to regroup before they ask her more questions in terms of learning about the suspect. here is where it happened. this is a home over my right shoulder here. this is on deo court. this is a half dozen or so homes and a cul-de-sac here.

it didn't happen in a secluded area. quite populated here. that's a surprising factor of the story. police say it was 5:30 yesterday evening when the suspect walked by, saw a 2-year-old girl playing in her front yard. he made an inappropriate comment to the little girl. the mother happened to be watching. she didn't like what she heard so she picked up her little girl. that's when police say the man walked up, tried to wrestle the girl away from her mother's arms. he was not successful. the mother ran in to call police while the man took off on foot. one of the next door neighbors tells me this is not the sort of news any parent wants to hear. >> surprised. very surprised it happened right here. i'm sure we'll change some things. >> like -- >> sit down and talk about what we need to do. >> she did what she had to do. it was her child. i think we all fight that much harder. again, kudos to her.

>> officer morales says the suspect is hispanic, wearing a red baseball hat, jeans and a white or light-colored striped shirt. the distinctive detail the woman gave police about the suspect, she said he smells like automotive oil. officer morales tells me the mother said she has never seen this particular man in this neighborhood before. so they have limited information that they are going on this morning. they will be out here later today to see if they can get more information from the mother. the good news is the mother and her daughter aren't hurt. >> help is needed to fly the bodies of two hit-and-run victims back to families in central america. they were innocent bystanders, struck and killed by a car trying to escape police after a new year's day shooting.

consider hiring a high paid police chief as a consultant who had success bringing down the crime rate in cities like new york. some of the methods have people in oakland worried it might create more of a rift between the community and the oakland police department. they packed into a public safety meeting last night and spoke out loudly. howard jordan tried to explain why he supports spending $250,000 to hire bill bratton on crime here. >> why don't you have howard jordan buy his book on amazon to hear what he has to say? >> reporter: opponents say bratton will use policies like stop and frisk. they say it would lead to racial profiling. jordan said he does support bratton but won't agree with a plan to put civil liberties and public trust in jeopardy. the committee approved using a

consultant. doesn't necessarily have to be bratton. but the decision is up to the full city council. they will consider it next week. fl live in oakland, kristy smith, "today in the bay." >> today, president obama announced his proposal to help reduce gun violence. it is expected to include high capacity cliffs plus background checks on buyers. it comes a month after 20 children and six adults were killed at a connecticut school. also, meantime, a gun buy back program was so popular in marin county station they had to issue vouchers. in all 27 guns. participants were given $200 for semi-automatic guns and $1 # 00 for other guns. >> 6:06. we are watching the weather as we take a live look outside from

prosecute swartz for downloading academic papers without permission from a publically open network. lockran proposed the idea to change the law on reddit, the internet forum swartz helped create. originally swartz faced more than 30 years in jail. that had been reduced to a plea deal for six months. the woman prosecuting him, u.s. attorney carmen ortiz has become the target of criticism. so much so her husband, an ibm executive has gone to twitter to fight back criticizing the family on the day of the young man's funeral saying, truly incredible in their own son's obit, they blame others for his death. vice president biden will reveal his recommendations to fight gun violence. mr. biden met with groups including the nra and employees from the video game industry. the gaming industry, very uneasy with the idea of them being included in any discussion of real world violence.

2-year-old girl who was outside playing with toys in the front yard. the mother heard it, didn't like it. she went into protective mode, picked up her daughter and that's when police say the man tried to wrestle away the little girl from her mother's arms. she fought back, won the battle and called police. this morning i have spoken to a few neighbors here who cannot believe something like this happened in what they call a safe neighborhood. >> it's scary. >> i was very surprised it happened here. >> just to hold on for dear life. for somebody you care about. you have to commend her. >> officer morales says it is important they find the suspect calling him a danger to us. here's what they have to go on so far. take a look at the suspect description. it's limiteded but better than nothing. an hispanic man between 20 and 30 last seen in a red baseball

hat, jeans and a white or light-colored striped shirt. police say the one thing the mother distinctly remembers about this man is that he smelled like automotive oil. police say the mother and her 2-year-old daughter aren't physically hurt. but certainly emotionally scarred. i'm sure that will last for some time now. if you know anything, call san jose police. live in san jose for "today in the bay." >> we are watching the weather this morning as well. taking a live look outside. look at the sun coming up over the bay area. a beautiful shot. it's another cold morning. we are expecting a warm-up. want to check it now. >> so do i. >> it's no fun to be bundled up in front of the heater all day long when it's sunny out there. today you can get out. you may be able to peel off a layer or drive with the windows down. that's not been the case. it's been chilly. 6:47. beautiful sunrise.
